Comment (by ryan):

 Backtrack limit strikes again.  We might be able to preg_split on
 "\n\s*\n", strip newlines and add paragraph tags to each result, and
 concatenate it all back together again.  Failing that, we can check for an
 error from preg_last_error and rollback that preg_replace.
 preg_last_error() is PHP >= 5.2 so a function_exists check would be
 needed.  Trying a preg_split first is worth a shot, though.
